Second Spirit First Soul Skill: Guardian of the Blue Silver King!

The annihilation of its soul marked the Blue Silver King's complete demise!

Dugu Lin had not expected the Blue Silver King to tell him this only when the sacrifice could no longer be stopped.

No matter why the Blue Silver King had waited until the final stage to say it, nor whether it had intended to make Dugu Lin feel guilty, Dugu Lin had accepted this favor!

Outside the sacrificial circle, Dugu Bo was even more agitated than Dugu Lin.

When Dugu Bo heard the Blue Silver King's voice, he too was deeply moved. He muttered, "The Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself for her child and lover, and now the Blue Silver King has sacrificed itself for the Blue Silver Emperor... Ah..."

How tragic, and how lamentable!

Lamentable was the fate of Soul Beasts. Lamentable too was the fact that humans and Soul Beasts had always stood on opposing sides.

Time quietly passed.

The cocoon woven from Blue Silver Grass stood silently in midair.

Suddenly, with a crack, the grass cocoon split apart, and Dugu Lin stepped out from within.

"Lin'er? How did it go?"

"It worked!"

Dugu Lin summoned his Second Spirit. A pitch-black Soul Ring appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating.

After sensing it briefly, Dugu Lin said, "Grandpa, this Soul Ring should be more than eighty-five thousand years old!"

"Eighty-five thousand years!"

Dugu Bo sucked in a sharp breath, then held it in his lungs!

His eighth Soul Ring had come from a fifty-nine-thousand-year Medusa, while his ninth Soul Ring had come from a seventy-three-thousand-year Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!

Yet his grandson's first ring for his Second Spirit had actually reached eighty-five thousand years!

"Phew..."

After taking a deep breath, Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, hurry and check the changes to your Martial Soul. And what is the Soul Skill like?"

Opening the first page of the Spirit Album, Dugu Lin saw an engraved Blue Silver King on the first sheet.

Looking at the lush Blue Silver King, Dugu Lin said thoughtfully, "Somehow... I have a feeling..."

"What feeling?"

"Painting in the Spirit Album... may not be simple!"

"In what way is it not simple?"

"Hmm..."

Dugu Lin pondered for a while before saying with a frown, "The key issue should be the attributes of Soul Power! If I can't precisely control the attributes of my Soul Power, then even if I manage to draw something in the album, it won't achieve the intended effect! Worse still, because of the Soul Power attributes, I might end up ruining my first Soul Skill..."

Since it concerned Soul Power attributes, Dugu Lin felt somewhat annoyed. Who the hell knows what kind of messed-up Soul Power attributes the Eastern Emperor Bell and Heaven-Splitting Axe have? And the Transformers too... Sigh...

"Soul Power attributes? You can even ruin a Soul Skill by drawing it?"

Dugu Bo grew deeply worried and hurriedly asked, "Lin'er, Grandpa remembers that you've always had very precise control over Soul Power these past years, right?"

Dugu Lin shook his head. "Controlling Soul Power is only the foundation. To gain detailed mastery over Soul Power attributes... it looks like I'll have plenty to do in the coming years!"

"Grandpa will cultivate alongside you. We'll definitely master the Soul Power attributes perfectly! Lin'er, hurry and see what your first Soul Skill is!"

"First Soul Skill: Guardian of the Blue Silver King!"

He activated his first Soul Ring.

A Blue Silver King grew out of the page, as though it were a complete Blue Silver King Martial Soul.

Very quickly, under Dugu Lin's control, the Blue Silver King's vines rapidly grew and stretched, then wound around a stone in front of him.

Bang!

With a slight exertion of force, Dugu Lin crushed the stone into pieces!

Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed and asked in disbelief, "Don't tell me this is just an offensive Soul Skill? Blue Silver... Blue Silver Entanglement? That's so useless?"

It was no wonder Dugu Bo was disdainful, since Tang San's first Soul Skill was Blue Silver Entanglement.

"Cough, cough..."

Dugu Lin choked on his saliva and said speechlessly, "Grandpa, don't compare me to Tang San! There's no comparison at all!"

"Oh? Then what exactly is your Soul Skill?"

"My first Soul Skill is called Guardian of the Blue Silver King! It's as if I possess a genuine Blue Silver King Martial Soul. As for its entangling ability, that's merely a basic ability shared by all vine-type Martial Souls! The Blue Silver King can not only entangle enemies, but also attack, kill, and defend! Furthermore, the core ability of my first Soul Skill is the Blue Silver King's immense vitality and healing power!"

"Vitality and healing?!" Dugu Bo's heart leaped with joy. The disdain on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a smile.

Dugu Lin continued studying the Soul Skill. He controlled the Blue Silver King to change shape and weave itself into a shield, smiling as he said, "The weaving speed is a little slow, so it might not be fast enough in battle! But I can practice slowly and improve the weaving speed."

He withdrew his Soul Power, and the shield vanished.

The next instant!

The Blue Silver King's vines suddenly swelled in size. Countless vines intertwined chaotically before Dugu Lin, forming a one-meter-thick Blue Silver King wall!

Since weaving a shield was too slow, he would win with sheer quantity!

Defense and offense in one! As long as I have enough Blue Silver King vines and enough Soul Power, achieving the effect of Tree World Descent won't be difficult! And Wood Human Technique and Wood Dragon Technique aren't impossible either!

Dugu Bo was already dumbfounded. Smiling, he said, "Controlling plants is a common ability of plant-type Soul Masters, but I never expected Lin'er's first Soul Skill to be identical to that of a true Blue Silver King Martial Soul Master! Doesn't that mean... my grandson's one Martial Soul is equivalent to nine others'? Hiss..."

After drawing several sharp breaths, Dugu Bo could not calm himself down.

If the External Spirit Jade Phosphorous Serpent was included as well, wouldn't that make ten Martial Souls?

"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily. What Twin Martial Souls? They're pathetically weak! My grandson has ten Martial Souls! Hahaha!

He dismissed the Blue Silver King wall.

Dugu Lin then controlled the Blue Silver King to extend four vines, which shot explosively toward four different directions!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Blue Silver King's four vines instantly shattered four huge rocks, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Dugu Bo exclaimed, "Lin'er, your attack has already reached the level of a High-Rank Soul Emperor! Hahaha! As expected of my grandson!"

A smug smile curled Dugu Lin's lips.

Then, under Dugu Bo's watchful gaze, Dugu Lin took out a dagger and unhesitatingly slashed a bloody wound across his arm!

The next second, a surge of blue Soul Power flowed over it, and the wound on his arm rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Grandpa, this is the true core ability of my first Martial Soul: vitality and healing!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dugu Bo said "good" three times in a row, his heart filled with gratification.

Dugu Lin was also very satisfied with the effects brought by his first Soul Skill. Then... he hesitated. Should he erase the Blue Silver King and replace it with the Nine-Heart Begonia?

The Nine-Heart Begonia paired with the Blue Silver King Soul Ring would definitely be a perfect match!

But the Blue Silver King Soul Skill's combat potential was practically limitless!

Dugu Lin sighed. "Should I replace it with the Blue Silver Emperor, or the Nine-Heart Begonia? I'm rather reluctant to give up the Blue Silver Emperor!"
